Her character, Cate, possesses the power of 'compulsion' and is a central figure in the show's dark, satirical take on superhero culture.

Victoria Vida's Focus: Music, Social Media, and Advocacy
Victoria Vida, known for her role as the fashionable and brilliant culinary chemist Adrienne Attoms, has shifted her focus toward a career as a singer and social media influencer. While she remains an actress, her primary public presence is now on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where she maintains a sizable and engaged fanbase [cite: 1, 2, 3 from step 2].
The Miami-born star is also a singer and has used her platform for advocacy. She has notably written and performed an anti-bullying song, aligning with the positive and empowering message of the *Project MC2* series [cite: 5 from step 2]. This focus on music, social media, and positive influence shows she is still embodying the "Smart is the New Cool" ethos by connecting with a global audience in new ways.
The legacy of *Project MC2* continues to resonate, not just for its promotion of S.T.E.A.M. education for girls, but for launching the careers of a highly talented ensemble.
